The Most Radical Act of Revolution: Healing Ancestral Wounds

In a world that often feels fractured and chaotic, the most profound act of revolution may not be marching in the streets but turning inward to heal the wounds carried within our bloodlines.

Healing ancestral wounds isn’t just a personal journey—it’s a collective one.

As a multi-generational, multi-disciplinary healer and intuitive with over 20 years of experience, I guide others in reclaiming what has been stolen, forgotten, or buried beneath layers of oppression, toxic capitalism, and religious persecution. The time to begin this deeper sacred work is NOW.

Why 2025 Is the Year to Heal Your Ancestral Wounds

1)🌱 Energetic Alignment
The energy this year is ripe for transformation and deep healing. We’re entering a powerful period of introspection and realignment, making it the perfect time to release generational trauma. Ancestral wounds are not just echoes of the past; they are patterns that influence our thoughts, emotions, and even the political and social landscapes we navigate today. By addressing these wounds, we break cycles of pain and make space for clarity, purpose, and authentic power.

2)🔥 Healing the Collective
When we heal ourselves, we create ripples that extend far beyond our individual lives. Ancestral healing not only transforms our reality but also elevates the collective consciousness. The political and social structures surrounding us reflect centuries of unresolved wounds. Healing these patterns within ourselves helps to shift these external realities, allowing for a more just and harmonious world.

3)💫 Empowered Sovereignty
Reconnecting with ancestral wisdom is a pathway to reclaiming authentic power. Many of the challenges we face today—both personally and collectively—stem from a severance with the wisdom of our ancestors. By healing these wounds, we recover not only the wisdom lost but also the strength to walk our paths with integrity, purpose, and sovereignty.

Healing Within Shapes the World Around Us

The work of healing is not just for ourselves—it’s for the generations that come after us.

When we heal our ancestral wounds, we impact our children, grandchildren, and even generations we will never meet.

These ripples extend to everything around us—people, the environment, wildlife, and into direct harmony with Great Mother Earth.

As we transform within, we influence the very fabric of reality, contributing to a world that is more compassionate, conscious, and connected.

The Journey of Ancestral Healing

Ancestral healing is an intuitive and customized journey that weaves together 20+ years of trauma work with Reiki, ancestral healing, plant medicine, spiritual guidance, medical intuitive practices, numerology, tarot, vibrational healing, sound bath, and ritual and ceremonial practices—encompassing the ancient ways—all led by Spirit and the wisdom of the body.

Each journey is unique, guided by where you are and what your soul needs to reclaim and heal.

This sacred work is not about bypassing or glossing over pain but diving deep into the roots of wounding to reclaim your power, voice, and sovereignty.

It is about restoring what has been fragmented and remembering who you are beyond the layers of conditioning and trauma.

Are You Ready to Heal Your Lineage?

This work isn’t just for you—it’s for your descendants.

Your healing today creates ripples that impact generations to come, transforming both your lineage and the world around you.

Whether it’s through a 1:1 session, group work, or a sacred retreat, I’m here to guide you on this profound journey of reclamation and healing.

Precious is a native New Yorker who always dreamed to be an advocate. She saw herself as someone whose clients could relate to and identify with while also serving as a model. At the time she did not realize how much of a role model she could play.

She talks about how she started out her career in the juvenile justice system working with at risk youth which allowed her to do some statistical analysis and quality management in a psychiatric hospital. She then went on to work in corrections to forensic psychiatric hospital. Over 20 plus years, she rose up to become the CEO of a major state funded mental hospital in New York as a younger melanin dominant woman.

Then C0VlD began and that changed everything. She realized how important it was to BE more authentic and to give of herself more. She retired from her position at the hospital at the age of 44 and the steps that led her to write her book began. This is her story.

Precious shares 3 actionable steps listeners can do today.

Topics of conversation include:

  • her life path as an advocate
  • how her accomplishments surpassed her childhood dream
  • working in juvenile detention to corrections
  • desire to ensure the clients were receiving quality care.

  • limitations she experienced due to her superiors.
  • how she created a healing space within her office at the hospital complete with essential oils diffusers and a selenite wand on her desk and its impact on staff.
  • how she infused wellness into the space with staff and union leadership
  • the big defining employment and union contract negotiating moment that impacted the staff.
  • religion vs scripture vs spirituality
  • blending her experience in mental health with yoga and scripture to help process stuff in the body.
  • the process of her book writing by NOT identifying with any formalized religion by examining a story and a process that crosses ancient cultures through time
  • soul energy
  • yoga
  • finding spiritual medicine in a text that has been misused.
  • the vibration of words and the power of storytelling
